Chase the Feeling of a Trip to Japan at This Upper East Side Ramen Restaurant

Experience Japan on the Upper East Side

NR, a restaurant on the Upper East Side, has been serving excellent Japanese dishes since late 2019. After closing their Harlem cocktail bar and restaurant ROKC, the owner, Shigefumi Kabashima, merged some of its menu with NR.

The result is a dining and drinking space reminiscent of Japan, offering a range of dishes including excellent ramen, soup curries, and cocktails. The menu features a unique taste scale for each drink, allowing customers to order based on their preferred level of booziness, fruitiness, and smokiness.

One notable cocktail is the Indigo Negroni, priced at $18, which is a clarified drink made with grapefruit, offering a high-medium booziness, low-medium bitterness, and high elegance.

The dishes at NR are large, making them perfect for leftovers, especially the soup curry.
